Quotes

Justin Long: My idea of acting was working in the theater. So I am very grateful for all my jobs. I know that at the moment there is a bit of a window of opportunity for me to make smart choices. I have been very lucky so far and really happy that I have had the chance to work on interesting films, but I still always feel that every job is going to be my last. (edit)
Justin Long: I knew I could be funny and make people laugh. And at school I was always the class clown. We would often get into fake fights and I could really take a punch and I would hurl my body over chairs and desks, I could throw my body around for some reason and take a lot of pain. (edit)
Justin Long: I was actually alone in my apartment. I only got half way through it, I couldn't finish it, because reading it, the script was terrifying. (edit)
Justin Long: Guys like Philip Seymour Hoffman or Sam Rockwell are the guys I look up to and have the kind of career I'd like to emulate. (edit)
Justin Long: I waited tables for about a year; I was terrible at it, ... The only thing that I could have done to be a worse waiter would be to actually have like peed in front of people, like on them while they were trying to eat. It was at that level. (edit)
